Equipment
1/2 cup Enjoy Life Vegan Chocolate Chips
1 cup M&Ms or Vegan Chocolate candy
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter or vegan butter alternative melted (like Miyoko’s Creamery Plant Milk Butter)
- ½ cup brown sugar or coconut palm sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ¼ cup creamy or crunchy peanut butter or sunflower or soy butter for peanut-free
- 2 large eggs room temperature or vegan egg substitute
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking molasses optional
- 1 cup certified gluten-free oats*
- ½ (67) cup (grams) gfJules All-Purpose Gluten Free Flour
- ½ teaspoon kosher or sea salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup M&Ms candy or Yum Earth Vegan Choco Yums
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Place the butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix until combined (use the paddle attachment if using a stand mixer).
- Add the peanut butter, eggs, vanilla, and molasses. Mix until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
- Add the oats, flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. Stir until well combined.
- Gently stir in the chocolate chips and M&M’s or vegan candies last.
- Using a large cookie scoop, place heaping scoops of the batter onto the baking sheets. You should be able to get about 6 cookies per cookie sheet. Flatten the cookies ever so slightly with the palm of your hand.
- Bake for 14-16 minutes. The centers should appear set and the edges should be gently browned.
- Let the cookies cool on the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
